Selling Houses; Sweet Shops; Kitchens

As house prices fall, we hear from people struggling to get the asking price for the houses they're selling.

The latest figures from Halifax show another fall in house prices - although smaller than last month's. People looking to sell are reducing their asking price, but how low are they prepared to go? We hear from one listener who says she's prepared to accept 拢50,000 less than what she originally hoped.

Oxford Street in London should be a premier retail site but instead there are lots of new sweet shops opening up. The council don't like it and are battling to shut them down and offering incentives to other businesses who want to take their place.

And time was if you had a posh toaster or mixer you'd have it out proudly on display on the worktop. But now the latest must-have in your kitchen is a 'garage appliance' - it's basically a special cupboard to hide stuff away. Will it take off?
